Hmmm. Looks like yet another case of two whites fighting over a stock deal gone bad. When will it end?

I also grew up in this neighborhood, (Strawberry Lane) The sad thing is these thugs do not live in the area. They need to go to their own neighborhood with all this crap!

yep strawberry lane was where most of the gunshots come from and the crack dealers...at least that is where i would watch them retreat when the police cam around....where do you think these thugs are from north chuck, or the eastside?

Let's see if the City solves this case or it is added to the already large number of COLD CASES that are on the books...
Why do the drug dealers come to Charleston instead of going to North Charleston, the reason why is that the City doesn't do anything about them...
We need a new "City of Charleston Administration" starting with the Mayor... And maybe these some 50+ COLD CASES could be solved once and for all...

lived in Strawberry all my life up until 1986 when I got married, my mom's father built that house she live there for 79 years until her demise, none of us wanted to retrieve to the old homestead because we all had homes, so we sold the property, been back there lately? palm trees, new houses and a diverse neighborhood, very nice, wish I tookup the family offer. Most of the residents are homeowners that take pride in where they live,the non neighbors are the ones causing the problems. I lived there when the dont care was living in the lane but my mom had high standards for us as well as other parents in the neighborhood so dont put Strawberry lane down that little street has produced lawyers, pharmacist, teachers, registerd nurses, lt. colonels, majors, and that is just to name a few, It is not where you live, but how you live.
